03 Feb Fourth And Fifth Grade Spelling Bee
On Friday, January 22, 2021, we held our Scripps/Miami Herald 4th and 5th-grade Spelling Bee. The students were well-prepared and excited to show their spelling expertise. After 18 rounds and 167 words of intense competition, Klorey White won the spelling bee. Klorey will go on to represent Westminster Academy in the Miami Herald/Scripps National Spelling Bee for Broward County in March. Words that were spelled correctly and led to the final round were: “Scandinavia,” “laboratory,” and “indecipherable.”
